About Heather Sanford

Heather Sanford is freaking phenomenal! ....because she was hand-made by THE Creator! She is not shy. She is confident, beautiful, funny and likes herself and her journey a whole lot (in the most humble way possible of course).

Heather is outgoing, witty, sassy, wise and generous. She once was fired from a Christian School for being too "raw, authentic, and vulnerable"!! Gotta love that. Heather has been on the Young Life Staff for over 15 years, entering into the crazy third world country of "teenager" to meet and love kids on their turf.

She has a heart for the lost, a passion to bring freedom to those who are bound (especially in religiosity), and a zeal for living life to the fullest! She is a wife to Joshua, Mom to Bayli and Obadiah (Obi), friend to many, mentor to the lucky ones, child of the King!

You can often find her singing karaoke, laughing with friends over a good glass of wine, traveling the world, living on the edge, pushing the envelope and inadvertently offending many....but always at the center of the grace and goodness of Jesus. Learning to love Him most while loving others!

Heather Sanford is a real breath of fresh air in pursuit of living her best life now! And I should know....since as awkward as writing your own bio is...I'm Heather Sanford and I approve this message! Much love - Peace Out!

A few weeks ago I was coming home from a typical Day-In-The-Life of a busy workin’, servin’, playin’ Mamma. You know how it goes: Kids outta bed and ready ✅ Feed little tummies with at least an Eggo ✅ Coffee ✅ School barely on time ✅ Job in youth ministry

In honor of February (the loooooove month), I thought I would give you all my best dating advice! Especially when the wallet is lookin’ a little thin. Here are some creative ways to date the one you love, and maybe even help you like him again, without breaking the bank. Enjoy!

Welp – there goes the season. It was fun while it lasted! For the first time in fourteen years my Raiders made it to the AFC playoffs in the NFL! Yes, they are MY Raiders – because a true fan considers themselves part of the team! There was so much

Just Win Baby! Commitment to Excellence! Black Hole! Any of these ring a bell? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let me be more obvious: Raider Nation!!!!! Yep – that’s right – I’m a Raider fan! From Oakland to LA back to Oakland. I was born into

Less than 24 hours ago everything I knew to be consistent and stable and sound in my career and ministry path came to an end. I met with my boss, and within a 90 minute conversation said words out loud that I could not swallow back in. The kind of

I held my Mom’s face in my hands the moment she took her last breath. It was 10:25 on 10/25. My Mom always had a way of having the last word, leaving her mark. She was stubborn like that. I’m nothing like her. Oh, wait. 😜 I’ll never forget that

I wear a lot of hats. Actually that’s not true. I don’t wear actual hats that often, because it covers my fun purple hair! What I meant to say was I wear a lot of “hats”- metaphorically speaking. Here is my (incomplete) list of hats…I’m a woman, daughter, wife, mom,

Last weekend I went on a quick overnight trip with the fam to an indoor water park in Southern California. It was so much fun. My kiddos are six and three, so it was literally a dream come true for them! We played in wave pools, went down slides galore,

My hubby is an Arborist. What a fancy word! Basically it means he is a tree nerd. He manages accounts for a great commercial tree care company, and knows everything there is to know about trees. It’s pretty cool- but that is not the point. HE GETS BONUSES! We are
